made by me, sorta.

Ok, so yesterday afternoon I had gone to the mall with Rob and absolutely fell in love with this Roxy ditsy floral fedora hat [picture below] at Lids. I wanted it sooooo bad but of course it was way too expensive..... for just a hat. I was so bummed I didn't get it :(






When I got home I had remembered that I had an old floral tie headband that I had stopped wearing. I was so close to throwing it away when I was cleaning out my room but apart of me had me thinking I could maybe use it for something else.... so I kept it hanging in my room. I had also bought a plain summer hat at forever 21 a couple of weeks ago that had nothing on it, it was just plain, but on sale! Lol- So I thought this would be a PERFECT opportunity to use my floral headband and sew it onto the hat that, by the way, was only 11 bucks. Lol. SO MUCH cheaper than the Roxy hat [see picture below].






p.s- I'm sorry I don't have before and after pics. I didn't realize this would be something to blog about until after I was finished. Lol.








After I was done, I double knotted the back and cut both ends. Then shredded the sides to make the cut look less sloppy..



[see bottom picture]






















So it doesn't look exactly like the Roxy hat I wanted.... and I know it's not as a great a creation as others... but I'm still pretty proud of myself that I thought of the idea and did it on my own. Lol. Plus it was ALOT cheaper! :)






I don't know about you guys, but I love my new hat :) Lol
























































So what do you guys think!? :)
